JSAN

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

JSAN, the JavaScript Archive Network, is an on-line collaborative resource to develop Open Source libraries and software for JavaScript. JSAN's aim is to create the JavaScript equivalent of Perl' s CPAN. JSAN was created by Casey West in 2005.

Indeed, the design and layout of JSAN's services is a near-direct copy of the structure of Perl's CPAN, and some of the newer techniques used in the JSAN are considered to be "test runs" for new features to be added to the design of the "6PAN", the CPAN upgrade to match the Perl 6 language.
